13 A cold night in November (3.53)
This started literally with a cold night in November (in the Indian Himalayan foothills at Ranikhet) and became a musing on the passing of time and the recapturing of youth's passion... So it starts as a rough guitar piece then goes all lush orchestral. If I had a vast music video budget it would be B&W at the start and then slip into a full colour Disneyfied dream sequence... (dream on! but I might have a go at some point, in my usual yogurt pot and string way...)
intro: C G Am Em F
C F C
It’s a cold night in November,
F C
With the sun long-slipped behind the hills
Em Am
Time to stir life in the embers
D G
Breathe warmth back through the autumn chills
Em Am
You can’t count the seconds to that midnight hour
Em Am
And watch your life slipping away
F
So when the double bed beckons
C Am D G
I can still reckon on a night like yesterday
F
Was it so long ago I first held you
C Gsus4 Am
And your body trembled at my touch
F C Am
All of that passion could not be contained
G
And I knew that you wanted me oh so much
Now it’s a cold night in November,
With the moon rising over the trees
Is it so hard to remember
Or are you just being a tease
So lets cosy up under the covers
Not giving a thought to the time
And let the dawn discover
We wake as young lovers
G G6run C
Again as we were in our prime
